Peter London was a professor at UMass-Dartmouth. I got my Masters there and
had him for only one course during the summer a few years ago, but I give
him the highest recommendation. The class that I took was thought and
emotion provoking and unlike anything else that I have experienced. He is
brilliant, articulate, sensitive and well loved by his students. I think
the workshop will be well worth your time and money.

<< Has anyone else out there made this change and how has this affected =
you?
How does classroom management differ between the age groups?
Do you have more or less energy and time for your own art work?
Currently, I have my curriculum down to where I can produce a lot of =
work after school. Will I find that true while teaching high school art?
>>

Depends on the school and your support. Little kids tend to all love
art...they usually get to come only once a week, etc. I would say of my 100
students I see a day, 20 wanted to take art, 20 definitely didn't want to
take art, and 60 don't really care...they thought art was "easy", right above
a study hall. They are very surprised I expect them to do work/put forth
effort for a grade. (So I went from bring the "nice art teacher" in elem. to
the "mean art teacher" in HS!) But the 20 who want to be there are a joy.
Having a student listen, understand a new concept/abstract thought you are
trying to teach, and then actually get it and incorporate it into their
work.....that is priceless, as the commercial says. And I enjoy getting to
really know the student. I have to remind myself they are teenagers, with
all kinds of other stuff going on in their lives.

The energy question is harder to answer. I am thinking my lack of energy is
an aging issue. I am a very intense focus person, so I tend to do my own
work in the summer during large blocks of time, usually with the added
pressure of a show or a class.

Pros and cons to every thing, but I am enjoying HS. I do miss the innocence
of little kids. Good luck! Melissa

My district requires permission slips each time we go on a field trip or each
time we take students off of school property for an activity. I used to
use
one permission slip for the year. Because of the added hassle, I only took
students on one major trip this year. I even had to have permission slips
to take students to pick up their Scholastic Art Awards and to clean up the
Rosedale neighborhood. We are required to turn in the permission slips to
the office and carry a duplicate set with us in case something happens.
It's getting too complicated to bother, anymore.

Also, these labels are used for any other AP tests they are taking, so if
they run out of labels, they can write their number (from the labels) on
the required
spaces in the art portfolios.
We finish up Friday, May 10th!!! Yipee!!!!!!!

These are good articles -
the only point of information I would like to add here
is just some
background information on the McDonald's overlooking
Tiennamen Square
(having lived in Beijing) - the building McDonald's is
in was going to be
torn down by the government and McDonald's saved it by
making it a
pre-condition that the building wasn't demolished. It
took a long time to
negotiate it and in the end, they were able to save
the site. It remains
the only historical building on the square now, with a
kind of ironic
juxtaposition of the large McDonald's neon.
In this case, the surface appearance is a triumph of a
different kind.
There's more behind the surface, which in turn,
reinforces Duncum's
point as well.
Try also looking at Suzanne Blier's "Crisis and
Creativity: The Social
and Cultural Roots of Artistic Florescence"
http://web-dubois.fas.harvard.edu/dubois/baobab/narratives/theory/theoretical.html
and Gustavo Fischman's "Reflections about images,
visual culture, and educational research" in
Educational Researcher vol. 30 no. 8, pg. 28-33,
November 2001

Michelle,
I am going to try for boards next year in Ohio. I am overwhelmed because I am
studio trained more than philosophy trained. Although I try to keep up with
the readings, I am often lost on the VCAE discussions here. Are you writing
at all about VCAE for NB? From what I have read in the downloads from NB the
lessons and tapes are great but the reflection, analysis and thoughtfulness
are the key. I wonder if it is more important to be cohesive or current...
Beth

Melissa...Thank you so much for putting my sentiments into words. It's good
to know someone else is feeling like I do. It's kind of like the glass being
half full or half empty. I try to concentrate on the positive energy, even
